Amateur boxing, as the name suggests is how all pugilists start their careers. It forms an athlete’s base in sport before they turn professional. Amateur boxing is what you see at multi-sport events like the Olympics, Asian Games, …

Fortnite Festival is turning into Rock Band with local multiplayer

Fortnite Festival is turning into Rock Band with local multiplayer

Published by Webster

Fortnite Festival, the game’s Rock Band-like music mode where you play along with real songs, is getting local multiplayer for up to four people on PlayStation and Xbox on January 14th. Currently, you can only play Fortnite Festival multiplayer online, but with this change, you’ll be able to get your former Rock Band back together and jam out on the same TV screen — well, with a major asterisk. Fortnite Festival currently only supports certain Rock Band guitar controllers, so if you’re on vocals or drums, you’ll be relegated to playing on a controller. Epic Games didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment about when drum kit or microphone support might be added to Fortnite Festival. The new local multiplayer mode is being added as part of season 7 of Fortnite Festival. The featured artist for the season is rumored to be virtual pop star Hatsune Miku — and Epic Games is has already dropped a hint that she might be joining Fortnite soon.

Shubman Gill’s return, rain, turning pitch in focus ahead of Sydney Test

Shubman Gill’s return, rain, turning pitch in focus ahead of Sydney Test

Published by Webster

Much of Sydney’s garbage, after the revelry on New Year’s Eve, won’t be picked up by the city council on New Year’s Day. The collection of bins outside homes is postponed by a day. The party-road debris is swept up, but everything else needs to wait. A somewhat apt metaphor for where India find themselves in the series. Much of the deep cleansing has to wait, tough calls on retirements have to wait, bold moves on handling transition have to wait; they just have to pick up the debris in the here-and-now, and front up for the last Test. They can still return home victorious with the Border-Gavaskar Trophy if they win at Sydney — a 2-2 result will help them retain the trophy as they are the current holders. Australia find themselves in the city with a sense of strangeness as far as the last Test in a home series against India is concerned. In the 2018 series against India, they had lost the penultimate Test at Melbourne and were trailing by 1-2 when …

“Turning Point Was…”: Ravi Shastri’s Unfiltered Take On India’s Defeat At MCG

Published by Webster

After the conclusion of the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) between Australia and India in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, former head coach Ravi Shastri discussed the turning point of the match. The Boxing Day Test in Melbourne ended in an exciting climax, with Australia clinching a 184-run victory over India in the final hour of the last day on Monday. “I think the turning point was the wicket of Rishabh Pant. They knew they couldn’t win the game by lunchtime once they lost three wickets. The only chance you have of winning is if there’s a platform set, exactly what Rohit said. And then, when Rishabh Pant got out after tea, that lifted the Australians. That was the opening they were looking for, and they made sure to capitalize on it,” Ravi Shastri said on Star Sports. India’s final wicket fell with less than 14 overs remaining in the day, with Nathan Lyon dismissing Mohammed Siraj to send the MCG crowd of over 74,000 into raptures as an …

Pat Cummins story: The Aussie in habit of turning lemons into lemonade | Cricket News

Published by Webster

Pat Cummins was on the floor of his home sobbing away as he was packing to go travel for the Ashes series of 2021 when his wife walked in with their newborn. His first kid, a son, was born just four days back and she was taken back. He would tell her that he didn’t feel like leaving them, and she assuaged him. A few weeks into the series Tim Paine lost his captaincy after the sexting saga, and Cummins became the Australian skipper. Cummins was crying at four when he excitedly burst into the bathroom to share with his sister a lolly he had been given. The irate younger sister slammed the door shut on him without realising his fingers were at the door – and he lost a few centimetres of his right middle finger. At the hospital after the doctors did their thing, his father would mimic bowling an imaginary ball, and when quizzed by the puzzled wife, he would say he just was wondering if Pat can bowl after this injury. …
